Dreaming of straight teeth? Dr. Dennis Morehart, DDS of Enid, OK offers Invisalign, the nearly invisible teeth straightening system, to his patients looking to straighten up their smile.
Invisalign is a teeth straightening process that works by using clear, plastic aligner trays to gradually shift teeth. Invisalign can treat mild and more difficult cases. Some of the main conditions Invisalign treats are gapped teeth, overcrowded teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and openbite. Dr. Morehart will be able to tell you if your specific case will benefit from Invisalign.
The recommended amount of time to wear the aligners is twenty to twenty-two hours per day. You take them out when eating and when brushing your teeth. The aligners are switched every two weeks, and the new change to each set of aligners will gradually straighten your teeth. For adults, this process usually takes about a year. For teenagers, the average duration is two years.
Invisalign has major advantages over traditional metal braces. For one, the aligners are taken out while you eat, so there are no limitations on what you can eat. They are also taken out when you brush and floss your teeth, so there is no hassle keeping a good oral hygiene routine. Another large advantage is no metallic smile. Invisalign is nearly invisible.
If you are looking to straighten teeth and do not want the hassle of traditional metal braces, schedule a consultation with Dr. Dennis Morehart, DDS at our Enid, OK dental practice. Call (580) 237-2213 or visit our website, www.eniddentalcare.com.
